Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a bypass turbojet engine nacelle including a cascade thrust reverser delivering a cold air flow forward.
- Turbojet engines for motorizing aircraft disposed along a longitudinal axis and surrounded by a nacelle, receive fresh air from the front side, and reject from the rear side the hot gases produced by combustion of the fuel generating thrust.
- bypass turbojet engines include fan blades disposed in a ring around the engine, generate a considerable secondary flow of cold air along an annular flow path passing between this engine and the nacelle, which adds high thrust.
- Some nacelles include a thrust reverser system equipped with pivoting flaps at least partially closing the cold air annular flow path, to direct the secondary flow radially outwards through lateral openings of the nacelle which open, by directing it forwards in order to generate a reverse thrust for braking the aircraft.
- a known type of cascade thrust reverser presented in particular by the U.S. Published Application No. 2016/0160799, includes rear movable cowls sliding axially rearwards under the effect of cylinders, to open movable structure of the nacelle containing cascades.
- the pivoting flaps are connected by tie-rods to a fixed front frame, to operate these flaps when the movable cowls are retracted. This solution is not applicable in the absence of a front frame.
- cascade thrust reverser includes tie-rods connecting the pivoting flaps to the fixed internal structure of the annular flow path, called “inner fixed structure,” or “IFS” for short, which tilt the pivoting flaps driven rearward by the retraction of the movable cowls.
- IFS inner fixed structure
- control tie-rods of the pivoting flaps passing through the cold air annular flow path may pose performance problems when the reverser is in the direct jet position, because of the aerodynamic losses they generate in this annular flow path.
- the present disclosure provides an engine nacelle of the bypass turbojet engine type disposed along a main axis, comprising starting from a front side an annular flow path for receiving fresh air from a fan, and a thrust reverser system device having at least one cowl axially movable between a direct jet front position, and a reverse jet rear position which tilts pivoting flaps by at least partially closing the annular flow path, and which opens lateral openings of the annular flow path upstream of the pivoting flaps, equipped with thrust reverser cascades returning a cold air flow towards the outside forwards.
- each movable cowl includes a control sector sliding in a plane transverse relative to the main axis, includes a return device connecting a fixed portion of the nacelle to the control sector to make it slide towards an reversal position when the movable cowl is recoiled, and includes flap tie-rods connecting the control sector to the pivoting flaps disposed in front of a movable cowl, which tilt these flaps by closing the annular flow path when the control sector is sliding towards its reversal position.
- An advantage of this nacelle is that the control of all the pivoting flaps distributed in front of each cowl is effected by means of a single control sector fixed on this cowl, sliding in the tangential direction, which is controlled at its ends by a return device attached to a fixed portion of the nacelle.
- the flap tie-rods remain outside the annular flow path, avoiding having a tie-rod for each flap that would pass through the fresh air flow. In this way, there is no need for a fixed front frame on the middle section of the nacelle in front of the cowls, and the aerodynamic efficiency of the nacelle is optimized.
- the nacelle according to the present disclosure may further include one or more of the following features, which can be combined with one another.
- each flap tie-rod includes a play take-up system comprising two axial portions sliding one relative to the other, equipped with an intermediate spring. This arrangement makes it possible to cancel play of the flaps in the direct jet position.
- each flap includes a safety hook fixed to the control sector, which secures the position by applying to the flap in the direct jet position a force parallel to the movement of this flap.
- This hook is engaged and released automatically when the control sectors slide.
- each control sector includes guides fixed to the cowl supporting it, allowing a movement of this control sector in a circumferential direction.
- each control sector can include a return device at each of its ends. A double actuation of the control sectors is obtained which ensures safety.
- the nacelle includes a return device comprising a return plate fixed to the cowl by a cowl pivot, which is connected to the fixed portion of the nacelle by a primary tie-rod and to the control sector by a secondary tie-rod.
- the nacelle includes a return device comprising a rack linked to the fixed portion and disposed parallel to the main axis, and a pinion engaged on this rack, linked to a cowl.
- the return device may include a secondary tie-rod connecting the pinion to the control sector, or in a variant the pinion can drive a cam receiving a connecting pin connected to the control sector, or may drive a pinion of an angle connected to the control sector by a screw-nut system.
- the nacelle includes a return device comprising a cam receiving a connecting pin, one of these elements sliding axially during the recoil movement of the cowl, the other element being connected to the control sector to drive it.
- the nacelle includes a return device comprising a cable fixed to the control sector in a transverse direction, passing on each side of this sector by a pulley connected to the cowl by taking an axial direction, rearwards on one side and forwards on the other side, to be then fixed to a fixed portion.

- An annular flow path 18 disposed around the inner fixed structure, is framed on each side of the nacelle by a movable cowl 8 sliding rearward.
- Each movable cowl 8 supports substantially at its front end, pivoting flaps 10 each having a pivot axis 46 fixed towards the front of this cowl in a tangential direction, in order to tilt inward when coming on the inner fixed structure 6 as shown in FIG. 1 b , to close the annular flow path 18 .
- Each end of the control sector 12 is connected to the lower or upper fixed beam 2 by a return device 20 , which when the cowl 8 recoils along the arrow R, drives this sector to slide downward along the arrow C by following guides 14 .
- the two control sectors 12 of the two cowls 8 can both slide upwards, or in the same direction of clockwise or anti-clockwise rotation, one starting down and the other up.
- Each pivoting flap 10 in front of a cowl 8 is connected to the control sector 12 of this cowl by a tie-rod 16 comprising a ball joint 22 , 24 at each end, for during the sliding C of this sector driving the tilting of this flap radially inward.
- each tie-rod 16 is close to the tangential alignment position, the ball joint 24 linked to the flap 10 being slightly offset radially towards the axis of the nacelle relative to the other ball joint 22 .
- the ball joint 24 linked to the flap 10 is in the reverse jet position, at the bottom of this flap in the direction of the main axis of the nacelle, which gives a significant lever arm increasing the stroke but reducing the port on the connecting rod 16 .
- the jet is then directed towards thrust reverse cascades, not represented, disposed in the lateral openings of the annular flow path 18 released in front of the cowls 8 which have recoiled.
- Each tie-rod 16 includes a play take-up system comprising two axial portions sliding relative to each other, equipped with an intermediate spring 26 working in compression, which when opening the flap 10 is compressed at the end of the sliding of the control sector 12 in order to ensure that, in direct jet, this flap is properly blocked bearing its end stop to prevent a play.
- a safety hook 28 fixed radially inside the control sector 12 comes in the direct jet position under the flap ball joint 24 of the tie-rod 16 in order to secure the direct jet position of the flap 10 by applying a pretension on this flap, and by avoiding its unexpected closing.
- the movement of the control sector 12 towards the reverse jet position automatically releases this safety hook 28 to allow the flap 10 to tilt.
- FIG. 3 a shows a return device 20 comprising a return plate 32 disposed in a tangential plane around the main axis, fixed to the cowl 8 by a cowl pivot 34 , connected to the fixed beam 2 by a primary tie-rod 36 and to the control sector 12 by a secondary tie-rod 38 .
- Each tie-rod 36 , 38 includes an articulation at each end to allow their deflections in the tangential plane of the return plate 32 .

- the primary tie-rod 36 rotates, at an angle indicated by the arrow T, the return plate 32 around the cowl pivot 34 , with an angle a little less than 180°, which drives the secondary tie-rod 38 in a substantially tangential movement causing the control sector 12 to slide along the sliding C. A simultaneous closing of all the flaps 10 connected to this control sector 12 is obtained.
- FIGS. 4 a and 4 c show a return device 20 comprising a rack 40 connected to the fixed beam 2 , a pinion 42 carried by a cowl pivot 34 being engaged on this rack.
- a secondary tie-rod 38 disposed substantially tangentially, is connected on one side to the control sector 12 , and on the other side to the pinion 42 at a point opposite to this control sector relative to the cowl pivot 34 .
- FIG. 4 b shows the recoil R of the cowl 8 and of the cowl pivot 34 .
- the pinion 42 rotates on the rack 40 at an angle indicated by the arrow T, the secondary tie-rod 38 performs a substantially tangential movement causing the control sector 12 to slide following the sliding C. A closing of the flaps 10 is obtained.
- FIG. 5 shows a motorization 44 fixed on the cowl 8 directly driving the pinion 42 in rotation, which allows, by its actuation by bearing on the rack 40 , both to recoil this cowl and to tilt the flaps 10 .
- the motorization 44 performs the complete driving of the thrust reverser, which avoids the use of cylinders to maneuver the cowl 8 and its pivoting flaps 10 .
